Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for an environmental event and task manager which receive environmental sensor data from an external network, determine a task based on the environmental sensor data received from the external network, calculate a user fitness metric for a user named on the environmental sensor data received through the communications interface and user information from the memory, assign the task to an assigned user based on the user fitness metric, and transmit an alert to the assigned user.

Claims

1. An environmental event and task manager, comprising:

a communications interface configured to communicate with an external network;

a memory capable of storing user information for a plurality of users; and

a processor in communication with the communications interface and memory, the processor configured to;

receive environmental sensor data from the external network;

receive dynamic user data from the external network;

determine a task based on the environmental sensor data and dynamic user data received from the external network;

calculate a user fitness metric for a user named on the environmental sensor data received through the communications interface and user information from the memory;

assign the task to an assigned user based on the user fitness metric; and

transmit an alert to the assigned user.

2. The environmental event and task manager of claim 1, wherein the user information includes at least one of capability, spatial distance, response time, current count, task completion ratio, task source, task score, user selection, or task type.

3. The environmental event and task manager of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to update a user profile using a plurality of the user fitness metrics.

4. The environmental event and task manager of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to receive environmental sensor data types by one of temperature, humidity, ambient light, sound, smoke, carbon monoxide, motion, non-conductive fluids, conductive fluids, power, vibration, or any combination thereof.

5. The environmental event and task manager of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to correlate a plurality of environmental sensor data to refine the task assigned to the assigned user.

6. The environmental event and task manager of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to create a plurality of geographic profiles are based on the environmental sensor data.

7. The environmental event and task manager of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to create a mapping of a task to the user using an algorithm.

8. The environmental event and task manager of claim 7, wherein the algorithm is a statistical learning algorithm.

9. A method for an environmental event and task manager, comprising:

receiving, at a processor, environmental sensor data from the external network;

receiving, at the processor, dynamic user data from the external network;

determining, at the processor, a task based on the environmental sensor and dynamic user data received from the external network;

calculating, at the processor, a user fitness metric for a user named on the environmental sensor data received through the communications interface and user information from the memory;

assigning, at the processor, the task to an assigned user based on the user fitness metric; and

transmitting, at the processor, an alert to the assigned user.

10. The method for an environmental event and task manager of claim 9, wherein calculating the user fitness metric uses at least one of capability, spatial distance, response time, current count, task completion ratio, task source, task score, user selection, or task type.

11. The method for an environmental event and task manager of claim 9, further comprising updating a user profile using a plurality of the user fitness metrics.

12. The method for an environmental event and task manager of claim 9, wherein environmental sensor data type received is one of temperature, humidity, ambient light, sound, smoke, carbon monoxide, motion, non-conductive fluids, conductive fluids, power, vibration, or any combination thereof.

13. The method for an environmental event and task manager of claim 9, wherein the assigned user task is further refined by a plurality of environmental sensor data.

14. The method for an environmental event and task manager of claim 9, wherein receiving the environmental sensor data creates a plurality of geographic profiles.

15. The method for an environmental event and task manager of claim 9, wherein creating a mapping of a task to the user is derived using an algorithm.

16. The method for an environmental event and task manager of claim 15, wherein the algorithm utilized to create a mapping of a task to a user is a statistical learning algorithm.

17. A system for an environmental event and task manager, comprising:

a plurality of environmental sensors configured to transmit environmental data through a network;

one or more client devices configured to transmit dynamic user data, receive environmental and task data; and

a processing device configured to receive and process the environmental data, dynamic user data, and transmit tasks to one or more client devices.
